2013 NFL Mock Draft – 2nd Edition

With the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis beginning at the end of the week, it is a good time to update my edition of the NFL Mock Draft.

There are some slight changes, based on some off-the-field issues that have popped up in the last few weeks.

If I ran an NFL team right now, I would be dreading this year’s draft. I would not want to have a top pick, simply because there is so little difference in talent, that I could draft someone with equal talent on day two or three, without having to pay as much. It is a moving target as to who might be the first overall pick. Hopefully, the NFL Scouting Combine will provide some separation.

Again, I don’t have West Virginia QB Geno Smith in the first round. Like before, I do believe that he will get picked in the first round, but I don’t account for trades. Even with the injury concerns, I still believe Southern California QB Matt Barkley is better suited for NFL success.
